Congrats Sheepguy|thumb

You joined half a year after me and have double the posts... |angry|

Congratulations! Didn't know about that Christ statue, what do Jewish members get when they this 1000?

Congratulations :)

You could always get the Mooby Cow Plush Toy :)

A miniture adolf hitler. |jester|

Being Jewish, you'll forgive me if I don't see the humor in this... |crazy|

I'll settle for the Jesus, after all, he was Jewish too |thumb

tigermom, you probably already know that the Buddy Christ comes from the movie Dogma. If you haven't seen it, you should. It really has as much to do with Christianity as Police Academy has to do with real police. :)

But really...when you get there you can have the Mooby doll.

Or, we could even send you the movie if you haven't seen it yet.

True, i guess some jewish people will always be insecure about who they are and play for sympathy.

Then again, isn't that what religion is all about?

Luckily, the jewish people i know have moved on and gained a sense of humour. |thumb

Not speaking for anyone but myself, but I don't see a plea for sympathy there.

Well, if she took her religion that seriously then she wouldn't be peddling porn.

Kind of ironic she makes a statement on being jewish on a joke about a miniture adolf hitler.

Geez, didn't take long for Godwin's Law to take effect.

Exactly! And I keep waiting for someone to come up with a spoof of the Buddy Christ spoof, called 'Jewey Christ' instead. (Or is that too politically incorrect for today's world? Google says a search for that term matches nothing!)

:)

I don't think you even know what Judaism is, dear. I am an atheist and Jewish at the same time, how about that? I'm not the only one either, believe it or not, quite common here. I can expand on the issue if you're interested in learning, but otherwise, I'll just leave it at that and thank you for the advice about my spiritual live vs. vocation.

I have no problem with jokes about Jews actually, but yeah, I still have a problem with Adolf Hitler. And the last thing I was doing was pleading for your sympathy...

Haven't seen the movie, so I'll take the movie over the doll ;) Hey, this thread alone is getting me closer lol

I'll pass on the lesson thanks. |jester|

A jewish non believer lol.

So what's your problem with hitler then?

It might be that she recognizes the difference between believing in the religious tenents of Judaism and the maniacal slaughtering of a large group of people based on their ethnicity.

But I could be wrong.

:)

That's for our Hindu webmasters :D

But she's a non believer so how can she recognise anything about a religion? |huh

Hitler didn't do anything that any religion hasn't done in the past few 1000 years, he just did it in different ways.

Thank you, Simon, pretty much what you said :)

Ummmm, so you have to be a believer to recognize anything about a religion? Since when is that? Also, Judaism is a nationality, not just a religion. You opted to skip the lesson, so I won't go any deeper into that. Let's just say though that if you choose not to learn about things, might be a good idea not to debate them either...

If you decide to start learning after all, I highly recommend a few history books too.

The senseless slaughter of millions of people shouldn't be a believer/non-believer anything..it should be an affront to anyone with the slightest thread of human decency.

But wait long enough and next it will be obese people on cattle cars and taking us to "fat camps" so we can be reconditioned because hitler did it and 50+ years later, no one cares.

or people with brown eyes

or people with tattoos

or pornographers..because they have no family values anyway.

You need a hobby|thumb

I need to learn? |jester|

So you're saying that jews have never been involved in slaughter (mass murder, genocide) call it what you want?

Carefull how you answer that and be sure that you know before you do.

You are a contradiction to yourself as an atheist is some who does not believe or recognise religion, so how can you be an atheist and jewish??? |jester|

Please send whatever it is you're smoking. :D

Someone can be ethnically Jewish.. ever hear of Hebrew? Its a nationality just like any other. That doesn't mean they follow the religion part of it.

The religious kind seem to put out more. :D

Still doesn't explain tigemom taking offence to hitler, i know jewish people here that drive volkswagen beatles, look into the history of them.

10 million jews were slaughtered during WW2, god knows how many people were killed in bombings here.

In what way has hitler had a personal effect on tigermom?

None, just used to make a statement nothing more.

ok, I wasn't going to jump in here but my fingers have a life of their own :D

what if Tigermom, like me and like a lot of other people of Jewish descent, had ancestors and relatives that were killed as a direct result of hitler's actions - would that not affect that person? What if those people had lived, would they have raised their children differently, lived in different places? And in turn would those children have had different lives? And their children...all the way down to me. Would I have a different life than I have now if those relatives had lived instead of died?

The past always affects the present and the future.

By the way Simon, that was an interesting read, maybe this thread should end :D

PS - sorry this thread went so far downhill, SG!! :(
